| rdfs:comment | The Lenca language is one of the indigenous Mesoamerican languages. At the time of the Spanish conquest of Central America in the early 16th century, it was spoken by the Lenca people in a region that incorporates northwestern and southwestern Honduras, and neighboring eastern El Salvador, east of the Lempa river. Today is still spoken mostly by Lenca Indigenous People in the mountains of the central state of Yoro, and Francisco Morazan (particularly in the Montana de la Flor region). While the Lenca people continue to live in the same region today, Lyle Campbell reported in the 1970s that he found only 1 speaker of the language in Chilanga, El Salvador, and none in Honduras; the language though reportedly extinct, is used by the Lenca People of central Honduras, who due to persecution by the Honduran army in the 1980s and 1990s, who violently repressed them due to their fighting for a more equitable distribution of land and a fair agrarian reform, chose not to speak it for a long time to avoid being easily identified by their persecutors. Campbell concluded however, that Salvadoran Lenca was a distinct dialect from Honduran Lenca. ('en' language string) |
